Leeds Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

3.5(2)2 hFree cancellationBy Explorial

About this activity

Leeds grew up on wool, rebuilt itself on culture, and hasn't stopped since — a northern city worth every bit of the journey.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Leeds on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Chase riddles to the Grand Theatre & Opera House, Leeds Cathedral, and the sculpture Winifred — art, faith, and civic ambition on one route

• Walk through Leeds whenever you're ready, guided entirely by the app

• Great for groups of all sizes and ages

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

Yorkshire gets the scenery, Leeds gets the culture — and this walk gets both.
